: Good looking installation. But it might be mentioned that light weight is a
: prime concern (read: obsession) of mine for both performance and
: off-the-water handling. My Outer Island weighs 36 lbs, for instance, and
: my self-designed Greenland cheater boat thing weighs 27. Ultra light boats
: are a wonderful joy to own, and you ain't gonna get 'em that way by
: epoxying wood blocks in to avoid drilling holes.

: To each his own, and it's all good. I'm just adding my opinion to the pot
: since it's what we do here. :D

: Cheers, Kurt

Sorry Kurt

I hope I didn't offend. I have seen your work before and have noted your love of light, Also you preferred method of carrying your boats in one hand like waiter with a tray. When I am carrying my boats I look more like Quasimodo. Sometiimes afterwards as well. I also somewhat resemble the proverbial brick outhouse.

I have also seen your telescopes. V nice. I wish I had the time and the cloudless skys to warrant building one myself.

Happy paddling
